Hurry Up and Meditate: Your Starter Kit for Inner Peace and Better Health

I've tried meditating before and always felt like it just wasn't for me - I just couldn't keep my mind still and didn't feel I was getting any benefits from it. This book is excellent at providing clear, scientific reasons for meditating and explaining the many health benefits that even beginners (whose minds are still jumping about) experience. Then it gives very easy, practical ways to meditate that are actually doable by people whose minds never stop moving. While it also discusses the more esoteric benefits of meditating, I felt its biggest plus was its ability to motivate and explain ways of incorporating meditation into your life without it feeling burdensome. What I liked most about it was the author's very practical view of meditation - I am already folding down pages and underlining passages for my husband who is very skeptical of anything he considers "alternative". It's the type of book that may even motivate him to meditate.

A time to rest and think has numerous health benefits...but really, who has the time?
